Milo is the oldest brother of Mindi Morris. He is 5'10" tall and 220 lbs, with broad shoulders and thick arms from years of heavy labor; his moderate height and overdeveloped torso & arms give the impression that he's a human cube. His hair and full beard are dirty blond, his eyes are blue.
Milo grew up on a small, impoverished farm north of Milwaukee. He showed an aptitude with tools from an early age, so his father apprenticed him to the local blacksmith. The little community he grew up in didn't create enough business to need two blacksmiths, so when he was fully trained he hit the road, eventually ending up in Charcoal City, where the most basic supply needed for his trade was readily available. He married a local girl and settled down. Most of his work involves repairs and shoeing draft animals, but when he has free time and scrap metal available he likes to experiment to keep his skills sharp by fashioning jewelry or small decorations that he later melts down and reuses. He has found the work of tinkers very intriguing, and would probably indulge in some tinkering himself if he somehow came into enough scrap metal to build something worthwhile. He has heard about the Iron Legion and the Dreamers and would love to hear more, though he doubts his archaic field of expertise would win him entry into either.
While his training is in iron and steel, Milo is a gifted artisan and would be able to adapt to working in other metals. He is a perfectionist about his work, which makes some projects take longer than they might, but the results are usually worth the wait. He's too much a stoic to show it, but gets very excited when presented with a complex or difficult job; most of his work has become routine and doesn't present a challenge.
Milo is all about his job. He has little patience for small talk and little interest in subjects other than metalworking.
PCs in Charcoal City with rare or unusual metal gear will pique Milo's interest; he will badger them with questions about where they got it, how it was made, by who, etc. PCs might approach him if they need metal items repaired or fabricated. If the PCs know Mindi, she might ask them to deliver letters or packages to her brother (Milo could also ask them to do the same in the other direction - the Morrises are a close family).
